The Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) is reporting that the small aircraft that went missing shortly after take-off from Montego, St James yesterday has crashed.
According to Major Basil Jarrett, the civil military cooperation officer of the JDF, all three people who were aboard the plane have died.
Jarrett said the wreckage of the plane was found in a bushy area of Trelawny around 4 o’clock Friday with the help of residents who reported seeing the plane flying at a very low altitude.
The plane with two pilots and a mechanic aboard, disappeared from radar shortly after take-off from the Sangster International Airport.
Jarrett said an investigation has started and will continue on the crash site into tomorrow.
In the meantime, he said investigators will seek to secure the site as nightfall draws closer.
